Why is my zap still pending to send?

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @ek 15h

You mean you see in satistics that a zap invoice is still pending?

Some possible reasons:

the payment is slow
you closed the site between pressing the zap button and us returning the invoice to your wallet so your wallet never saw the invoice
some bug on our end

In any case, you should get a notification where you can retry the zap when the invoice expires.

We'll soon have automated retries which will make payments more reliable.

Thinking about Copilot and Recall feature, I think that trezor predicted this and found the best solution by only showing random dots that you have to click (not press any key), so there is no track of the keyboard neither the PIN.

However, how do you prevent AI to copy your wallet screen? Address are also shown partially, but some times you need to copy it.

Apps and Wallets must think of tremendous security measures agains AI for the centralized companies.

Thinking about running a lightning routing node with only 0.1-0.25 bitcoin

54 sats \ 0 replies \ @Aardvark 18 Jan

I'll be interested to see the results as that's an actual realistic amount of bitcoin for me to be able to get my hands on.

You mean if I want to have bigger channels? Good idea but I’ll start low since I just want to learn and not burn too many sats.

Question is just how low to start without being useless. I think 0.1 bitcoin is okay 👀

0 sats \ 5 replies \ @Satosora 18 Jan

.25 might be overkill, depending on how you use it.

0 sats \ 4 replies \ @ek 18 Jan

Why overkill? I think if you want to route payments, your channels can’t be too big.

I think I’ll go with following channel allocations: 3x5m+2x4m+2m

It's always a trade off, but... with those small amount (for a routing node), maybe using the "dual" from https://lightningnetwork.plus/swaps to coordinate and double the size.

But before that... which implementation of LN are you going to use? are you going to have a clearnet only connection, Tor... or both?

What are your objective? stack sats (routing fee)? or using to develop something on top of that?.

maybe using the "dual" from https://lightningnetwork.plus/swaps to coordinate and double the size.

oh, looks interesting, thanks! 👀

which implementation of LN are you going to use?

probably LND as I am the most familiar with it

are you going to have a clearnet only connection, Tor... or both?

definitely clearnet and maybe tor but not sure I'll need it

What are your objective?

just experience for now

Saw many flamingos yesterday ( it's wild! and they were doing group dancing because it's mating season ) and learned a few fun facts: do you know why flamingo is pink? Because baby flamingo is brownish. 🦩

40 sats \ 3 replies \ @ek 18 Jan

some other animal fun fact: why are bird nests always so clean?

33 sats \ 2 replies \ @Satosora 18 Jan

The parents always eat the shit of their young. When the feed them, they poop right after and the parents clean it up. Im not making it up.

20 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 18 Jan

if you had to make up the answer, what would you think?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Satosora 18 Jan

Have you ever watched how efficient they feed the baby birds, though? Its pretty amazing.

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @Undisciplined 18 Jan

A group of flamingos is called a "flamboyance".

28 sats \ 0 replies \ @Natalia 18 Jan

It's quite funny because I was talking with a friend, and we discussed how many similarities between humans and birds.

mating: show off feathers, dancing/singing
food: thriving when eating what they are meant to, shrimp for flamingos--> more pink; But got weak when being caged VS Humans get weaker and weaker when being caged in big cities.

the quality of being very confident in your behaviour, and liking to be noticed by other people, for example because of the way you dress or talk

I have no idea why, but English has many absurd names for groups of animals.

The shrimp they eat.

25 sats \ 6 replies \ @Natalia 18 Jan

yes!! if they don't eat enough shrimps they won't get so pink, nature is fascinating:)

0 sats \ 3 replies \ @ek 18 Jan

Unfortunately, the internet says this fun is exclusive to flamingos

33 sats \ 2 replies \ @Satosora 18 Jan

ek, maybe you should test the theory? In Taiwan, they have a fishing pool where you could fish for shrimp. Then they would cook them up for you, or use them in hotpot.

20 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 18 Jan

Good idea. Do you think one week of eating only shrimp is enough to test the theory?

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Satosora 18 Jan

You would have to eat a lot of shrimp in that week. Reminds me of one of those crawfish boils. I have heard of people eating lots carrots and their skin turning orange.

11 sats \ 1 reply \ @Satosora 18 Jan

Yes. I think it has some kind of protein that makes them that color. Thats why at the zoo, they arent as pink as they should be.
